Thomson Reuters Heiress Loses $80M in Psychic-Linked Crypto Scheme
Billionaire heiress Taylor Thomson, a member of the family behind Thomson Reuters, reportedly lost over $80 million in cryptocurrency investments guided by spiritual advisors. The Wall Street Journal reveals her former best friend, Ashley Richardson, executed 450,000 trades at the bull market peak—managing $140M across wallets before the 2022 crash.
Consulting firm Guidepost Solutions alleges unauthorized high-risk strategies caused the losses. Richardson disputes the claims, while Thomson settled with blockchain project Persistence. The debacle underscores crypto's volatile intersection with unorthodox investment guidance.
